I agree with the individual below...some of us are still new to this
vulnerability thing (I for one) and appreciate lurking hear and taking it
all in...as a matter of fact, I'd love to have the original poster,
re-post...I was talking to a few others who had no idea about this and
they'd love to see the article (which I'd deleted - for some reason???)

Hi,

I like reading posts in here to learn from. It would be good not to be too
hostile against people asking questions you already know the answer for or
even have known it for ages already. If I were to ask a question I would
like to be educated or at least pointed in the right direction. Some replies
really discourage people from asking.

Well, this /is/ full-disclosure, no? Best to tell than to withhold.

And while I would hope that there aren't a rash of old-school
vulnerabilities blowing through the list, I, for one, was unaware that you
could specify telnet ports like that. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not
alone. Now I'll know what's up if I ever see stuff like this.

Though it does worry me a bit that this came from a @cisco.com address.
Shouldn't they be kind of *YAWN* about all things networking?
